Do "Draw" Drivers really make a difference?

Thinking about buying a Superquad, and wondered if anyone has any experience of draw biased drivers and how much of a difference they make?

Cheers

I have a R7 draw and it makes next to sod all difference.
I changed from a neutral bias Ping G5 and I could hit that as well as the R7.
Do you slice badly??
Have you thought of an offset driver instead?

Why not buy a mizuno mp600 if you want to add a little to your game, its not a correctional club but goes like buggery when you hit them, it has a fast track system that can be set for helping fade, draw, height and spin to a lesser degree.

Well, the SuperQuad isn't a draw biased driver as such, but can be set up as one. But as with all these 'biased' drivers your swing needs to be in tip-top condition in the first place. It won't magically make you draw or fade the ball on it's own; you'll still need to set up for the type of shot and then let the club work with you.

I can recommend the SuperQuad as a good all-round driver though. Mine was a hand-me-down from a friend who must have all the latest technology and found that the stiff shaft wasn't stiff enough for him. Works fine for me and I'm pretty consistent with it, but I generally leave the weights in their standard form, or switch to the Low configuration.

i've got a superquad and it's a good driver.

Unless you have a rock solid, repeatable swing time after time, i wouldn't mess with the weights unless you change the ball flight from high to slightly lower.

I hit about 200 balls one day with a mate and he plays off scratch and despite changing the weights around, there was only very little change in the balls flight path from him (excellent swing and very consistant driver).

It makes 7 yards of difference for Sergio Garcia around whom the club was designed. For anyone else, moving the weights will make as good as no difference to ball flight, and if it does it will not be consistent in any way.

I've got a superquad and just messed around with the weights until I found what felt nicest to swing (neutral high launch) and have left it there.
